Well last I heard this show is number 1 in terms of pre orders so it would be stupid not to keep striking while the iron still hot or in this case bring out out all the merchandise before the hype dies down.

and it is not worse than it already so instead of waiting for the end of the anime changes its usual or you have to wait several months for an anime OAV (exemple: Shinryaku ika musume or Uppote) but it is true that OAV coming few months after the end of the anime can always have a current issue in the anime

...Question. Why was Team A able to one-shot each of the opposing tanks, yet survived taking multiple hits themselves? I can accept that a couple of the opposing tanks had lighter guns and armor, but surely that hit from Team C should have taken Team A out, if their own hit against Team C was powerful enough to take them out despite Team C's heavier armor.

Take notice at where the shots landed.
Though there is some plot armor involved with the shot from Stug III.

I'm by no means an expert (by no means at all), so please forgive my lack of the proper terminology... The shot from Team C hit the main body of our heroines' tank, in the rear. I've read that the front armor on tanks is generally thicker than the sides, but no mention was made of rear armor. Still, judging by the numbers folks have posted, that's a much more powerful gun than the one Team A is packing.

Team A's return shot landed on... well, what I would call the turret, if that thing had a turret, which it doesn't. But it's the upper portion from which the gun protrudes. Perhaps the armor is not as thick at that point? I simply do not know enough.

The shot against the student council likewise hit the turret, at a point that simply looks like the armor would be weaker (EDIT: Actually... where did it hit? I thought it was to the left of the center gun, but it looks like that's yet another gun... did they fire that one, and the shell hit them somewhere else?), so I can accept that hit as a disable. As for the type 89, given the numbers posted for its armor compared to the others, anything bigger than small-arms fire would penetrate the armor no matter where it hit.

Team A only really tanked the first shot from the StuG and some MG fire from the Type 89. Everything else was near misses.

Still, I attribute the inconsistency to something Mako said after the match: paraphrase, "Did we really win, or did they just drop out?", perhaps hinting that it's less about the actual hits themselves and more the condition of the people inside.

Also, something interesting about the rules of Senshado (clickable thumbnail):

Need a translator to confirm the info supposedly mentioned here, but the two pieces of translated info I read are quite interesting:

- Only tanks made before August 15, 1945 (aka VJ Day) are allowed.
- Completed prototype tanks (with above provision) are allowed, and, at the discretion of the Japan Senshado Federation, anything which was in the planning stages that could be made with parts manufactured before that date.

Does that mean... we can have T29's and the Maus?!?!

This is sounding more and more like a true WoT type competition (which certainly isn't a bad thing)...

I prefer my metallic yet CGI vehicles of combat to be humanoid shaped, so unless one of them transforms, I'm just going to focus my attention on Miho and friends. And maybe try to figure out who's the Koromo of this bunch.
